Senator Stan Kutcher @stankutcher.sencanada.ca · 17/07/2025Let’s be clear: vaccines do not cause autism. This false claim has been thoroughly disproven by decades of research.

Senator Stan Kutcher @stankutcher.sencanada.ca · 23/04/2025Canada can help Ukraine now by using frozen Russian assets in our banks to help Ukraine with the means to win this war as quickly as possible. There will not be peace in Ukraine nor peace in Europe if Russia is allowed to prevail. 011
